Spain: PhD Research Fellowship in Empirical Behavioral Operations Management, MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program
MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program
A behavioral perspective on operations management studies the attributes of human behavior and cognition that impact the design, management, and improvement of operating systems. This perspective may employ different empirical methods, such as experiments and surveys, and may build upon different levels of analysis, such as the individual (e.g. recent versions of the beergame that account for bounded rationality of individual decision takers) and the group (e.g. studies that explore the impact of social variables such as trust and organizational learning on supply chain performance).
Tasks
As part of the research group of the Supply Chain Management Laboratory (scmLAB), the candidate should conduct empirical research to develop and test theories related to (inter)organizational learning in supply chains to be published in top international scientific journals. Related research lines of the research group can be consulted on the website www.zlc.edu.es/lab/scmlab
Eligibility
Exceptional applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. All applicants must, at a minimum, fulfill all of the admissions requirements for the PhD in Logistics and Supply Chain Management of Zaragoza Logistics Center in order to be considered.

Furthermore there are funds training activities and for travelling related to the research project.
The fellow will be enrolled in the PhD in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Program of Zaragoza Logistics Center. PhD students typically complete courses in the MIT-Zaragoza master’s degree program (ZLOG) during the first two years before continuing with advanced courses and dissertation work. Third year MIT-Zaragoza PhD students can go abroad and spend a semester or longer at other leading business and engineering schools (usually at MIT in Boston).
Start date of the special PhD-position

PhD Studentships in Hadron Physics, The University of Groningen, The Netherlands
PhD position at KVI, The University of Groningen and GSI have recently set up a collaboration between KVI and GSI. The scienti?c program includes pro jects in the ?elds of accelerator physics, atomic physics, hadron- and nuclear-structure physics.
The hadron-structure research program will address long-standing puzzles in hadron physics such as the con?nement of quarks, the existence of glueballs and hybrids, and the origin of the mass of strongly interacting systems. Those puzzles represent the intellectual challenges that the PANDA (anti-Proton ANnhilation at DArmstadt) experiment of the new FAIR (Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research) facility at GSI will address (http://www.gsi.de/fair/).
In this context, the KVI in Groningen is searching for 1 PhD student in hadron physics. The succesful candidate will work on the properties of charm mesons and baryons for the experimental conditions of density and temperature expected at FAIR and, in particular, in the future PANDA experiment, under the supervision of Prof. Laura Tolos.
If you have a Master degree in a relevant ?eld such as high-energy or nuclear physics and have the perseverance to complete a PhD thesis within four years, you are the candidate for this PhD position. The successful candidate will receive a four-year scholarship of 1583,- gross per month.
Applicants should send a short outline of their knowledge and experience, accompanied by curriculum vitae, and names and email addresses of two referees to

UK: PhD Studentships in Bioinformatics of Next Generation Sequencing Approaches, the University of Exeter
Project title: Bioinformatics of next generation sequencing approaches: using 454 and Solexa data to look at insect genomes and transcriptomes, the University of Exeter, UK
Three-year studentship: tuition fees (UK/EU rate) and annual stipend at current research council rate
This PhD will provide training in state of the art bioinformatics both at the genomic and transcriptomic level. It takes advantage of a) the large amount of non-model insect 454 sequence data generated by our laboratory, b) our participation in the Heliconius genome project (3 species being sequenced at Baylor College of Medicine), c) our ongoing collaboration with the Sanger Center with BAC mapping and DNA sequencing and, most importantly, d) our initiation of collaborations with ecology and evolution groups in Cornwall. The project aims to fill the ‘gap’ generated by the purchase of the Illumina sequencer at Streatham and the analysis of the ‘pump priming’ projects from non-molecular biologists at
both Tremough and Streatham Campuses of the University of Exeter.
The student will receive training in the assembly and analysis of large next-generation sequence data sets of both the genome (e.g. Heliconius) and the transcriptome. The student will learn how to annotate ESTs and genomic DNA and to mine the data for items of interest to ‘non-molecular’ biologists e.g. SNPs and micro-satellite markers.
Students with a computing background will be involved in creating state-of-the art software to analyse -omic data derived from non-model species. The exact nature of the project will be decided with the
candidate. For example, SNPs will be used to look for gene flow between the different islands of the Scillies to test if gene flow relates to the standing differences seen in eye spot variation between islands in the Meadow Brown (with Dave Hosken). SNPs will also be used to look for gene flow and dispersal between the different populations of the endangered Marsh Fritillary in the South West (with Dave Hodgson and Melanie Smee). Candidates with a Computer Science background wishing to learn about biology, evolution and comparative genomics are especially invited to apply.
